"About time you got back." Inuyasha, a deer over his shoulder, bumps Sesshoumaru's nose in passing as he glares at her. "Ya get lost?"
The casual display between brothers takes her by surprise, and Kagome doesn't know how to respond at first. In the evening air as hearth fires burn, things feel different. More settled. But as Inuyasha's glare turns into a grin, she reminds herself that different isn't necessarily bad.
He learns down and bumps her nose too. "I'm teasin'."
"Jerk." She tugs a forelock.
Inuyasha snorts. "A jerk who has your dinner." He turns to Sesshoumaru. "You coming?"
